My user cache is deleting after about 20 seconds upon start up

Recently installed 10.8.3 from 10.7
Worked great for a couple of weeks.
Suddenly data in my User Cache folder started deleing after about 20 seconds after after the desktop comes up when doing a shutdown/restart.
Fixed Permissions with Disk Utilities. Fixed Permissions with Disk Warrior but it is still doing it. I use Logic and this measns it re-scans all the aduio Units plug-ins evertime I launch which takes some time.

you or a program you installed, one of those so called cache cleaners? is set to automatic
redundant to use DW and DU to "fix" permissions (and usually wasted anyway).
Do a Safe Boot
Turn off anything launches on login
find out what launchd is up to
.... only time to use DW was to repair/rebuild/create a new directory, booting from another drive, after a freeze or other anomaly.
My "upgrade OS" is a clean install, use Setup Assistant, keep the old system as backup and until you are sure all yuour soft/hardware apps and the rest are ML certified and working and the latest. If needed you can dual boot or go back, too.

Emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have elected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening?

emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have selected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening? any ideas?

iCloud emails in the Trash are deleted after 30 days on the website, and this over-rides the 'never' setting in Mail. There is no way of stopping this. (The Trash isn't really intended as a permanent storage area.)
Try this workaround. Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the sidebar, click on '+' to the right of 'Folders' to create a new folder; give it a suitable name.
Now click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left. At the bottom of the pane which opens, set the 'Move deleted messages to' drop-down menu to your new folder.
I'm not sure whether, when you delete messages in the Mail application, they will go to the Trash or your new folder - you'll need to experiment. I have a nasty feeling that Mail will simply move them to the Trash as before. If this is the case you will have to move them to your new folder manually - dragging messages directly to this folder rather than hitting the delete key will be the easiest way.

There is an unauthorized address on my jabber buddy list. After deleting it, it re-appears after about 5 seconds. How can I delete it permanently?

Photoshop CS4 crashing on startup after about 15 seconds

I was using Photoshop working on a project all day yesterday, and now today whenever I try to start up Photoshop it loads then freezes after about 15 seconds and crashes. I don't know what has caused this as the program has worked flawlessly on my computer for as long as I've had CS4. Any ideas?

Trash the settings folder the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings folder in your User's Preferences but it sounds like a corrupt font or font cache problem and may resurface, I would check out the integrity of your fonts with something like Font Agent Pro and clean your fnt cache files with Cocktail.
The reason it worked fine is that you probably never used that font or it has since become corrupt or has taken this long for the cache to becoe corrupt.

My 24" iMac won't read audio cds--ejects them after about 15 seconds

My 24" intel iMac won't read audio cds. It ejects them after about 15 seconds. I have virtually never played cds on this machine in five years. It plays dads with no problem. Anybody have any feedback. I also saw a fix by deleting some presence files.

I saw this on a forum from about four years ago:
Trash the following folders:
com.apple.kernelcaches (from System/Library/Caches
extensions.kextcache (from System/Library
CDInfo.cidb (from Home/Library/Preferences
Restart
Could this be a fix.
Unfortunately, I can't reset PRAM. I've done it a thousand times over twenty years,but my machine simply boots up without the extra chimes.

When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
OS X Yosemite version 10.10
Keynote version 6.5
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
Thanks

I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

Firefox4 freezes on startup after about 10 seconds. A second parallel instance of firefox works normally as long as the first instance is left alone frozen. What causes this and how can it be prevented?

I am running firefox4 on win XP. When I start firefox, it says it is trying to restore a previous session which has only the blank tab. After about 10 seconds the whole instance of firefox freezes - none of the buttons work and the only way to close firefox is to use the Ctrl+Alt+Del and task manager. If I open a second parallel sessionof firefox, it works normally, as long as the first session is left alone (frozen). What could be causing the freeze up of the first firefox instance, and how can it be prevented?

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

My email opens without words then shuts down after about ten seconds. I've tried closing it, tried restarting iPad and resetting the iPad, all to no avail.

For the last three days, when I press my mail icon, it loads the blank template then closes after about ten seconds. I've tried to close and reopen it, have shut down and restarted the iPad and have reset it, but nothing has worked. I tried to use the Apple online support but was told I would have to pay £25! The iPad has not been the same since we upgraded the software as it is much slower, but the emails have not been a problem until now.

Hi Go to Settings Email Accounts Delete email account then add back again. Do this with each account that is not working. Cheers Brian

TS1717 I downloaded a latin jazz album but on one tune it quit after about 40 seconds and jumped to the next tune.I tried to re download it but that particular tune was only available as an album purchase which I had already done.

I recently downloaded a CD but one tune quit after about 40 seconds.I tried to download again even if I paid again but this track was not available as a single download only as a complete album and I wasn,t prepared to buy the whole album again since I,d already paid for it.Any sugestions?MAC PHILLIPS

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the problem tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

SWF output "crashes" after about 10 seconds

I am creating a tutorial in Captivate. The "video" previews fine in Captivate, but when I publish the "video", it crashes after about 10 seconds. The SWF just stops playing, in the middle of slide 2.
If I delete the second half of the presentation, I can get the remainder to play through. I've been trying to isolate if a single slide is causing the problem, but I'm getting some inconsistent results.
Any ideas what might be going on? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the issue?

My share operation failure occurs after about 5 seconds for DVD and Apple Devices. I can share to a master file, but without audio. Help?

My share operation failure occurs after about 5 seconds for DVD and Apple Devices. I can share to a master file, but without audio. Help?
It has error number -50.

If it only happens with this project, it's probable some media files have become corrupted.
Those may be render files. Make sure background rendering is off. Select the project in the browser and from the file menu, choose Delete Project Render Files; choose All from the dialog. Without rendering,try exporting.
If that doesn't work, use an optimized version of your DSLR clips. (Right click on the clips in the browser and hit Transcode.)

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
